Categories in their composit reckoning These are the Parmeshthis Five Staying steadfast in their goal supreme, I bow to them The fountain-heads of all grace That vanquishes sins, The blessing that surpasses all other blessings In its potential benefaction. MANGALAM.
Bharatiya Jnanpith 18, Institutional area, Lodhi Road, NEW DELHI-3
Time fleets, quick passes the day, Pleasures last not till eternity, They come to men to go away, Like birds when fruitless becomes a tree.
Uttaradhyayana, Chap. XIII. 31.
Pleasures give but little joy, Suffering intense and very long, Worldly life obstructs liberation, of evil it is a veritable mine.
Uttaradhyayana, Chap. XIV. 13.
